its for one season
Don’t get me wrong 2 good players but what the hell are they jumping down a division for?
Maybe maybe notits for one season
Be great if they didn’tAll three of the relegated teams should be in the top six the parachute payments will see to that.

You have to question what they are parachuting from, why would a team like Luton need them so far they have pushed the boat out and signed a free agent from Rotherham.
£233m between all the parachute clubs in 20/21. That’s almost £10m each for every club is distributed fairly. Which would make the bottom 6/7 clubs (including us) financially viable and halve the losses of all bar the top 7/8 according to 21/22 records.
Yes clubs like Bristol that didn’t go up and lost loads would be fucked. But you’d hope you could get to a place where clubs are limited on wages and relegated clubs just face the choice of selling off or eating the wages. Maybe with some kind of fund for injured players.
A budget of £250k would be £13m/year. TV rights with equally split parachute payments would be £15m or so. So you could say wages can’t exceed the TV money. Leaving ticket and commercial revenue to run the rest of the club like staff and facilities.
never happening
A man can dream. A sustainable football pyramid is there and it wouldn’t even cost the PL teams much, maybe just a bit more caution crafting relegation clauses.
The main issue I think is the football league and the premier league hierarchy agree it and it means 3 teams are relegated - it would get restricted to two if changes were made
I think Southampton will lose whatever talent they had and will not even make the playoffs.I think the 3 relegated clubs will make up the top 3 and Middlesbrough will finish best of the rest
I think Southampton could walk the league personally. Already got Tella and Armstrong on the booksI think Southampton will lose whatever talent they had and will not even make the playoffs.
Leicester seem to be buying well unfortunately
I prefer this idea to just giving the club the money. It is, after all, supposed to be a safety net due to the vast gulf in EFL and PL income and therefore wages.Parachute Payment idea: £250k/wk first team budget for each Championship side (academy products exempt) and parachute payments are made directly to players for any amount over £20k/wk. The first £20k comes out the wage budget. Only contracts signed before relegation counted.

But at the same time it could still give them an unfair advantage as the relegated teams could decide to keep their star players as someone else is footing the bill. So you could have the likes of maddison playing for you and only paying 20k pw to his wages.
Ultimately I think the entire parachute payments need doing away with and making clubs act more responsibly and sustainably. But it won't happen because this system gives the PL all the bargaining power - it pretty much forces you to spend huge amounts to try and compete but 3 clubs have to fail every year and they are then relying heavily on PL payments to remain solvent and don; want to rock the boat. Money's shit isn't it?
My thought was maybe the clubs should be forced to put some of the PL cash aside every year like a pension, which is then paid back to them if relegated, or after three-five years if they aren't. So they have a safety net but it is their own money. I know that would put less established clubs at a disadvantage as they'd have a lower budget for a few years, but I see that as more as rewarding success for those teams that have managed to stay up.
I am so bored of parachute payment clubs.Callum Doyle linked with perm move to Leicester. Hate that.
Yep, Leicester are going to win the league at a canter.I am so bored of parachute payment clubs.
Yeh i moan about this frequently, its too much of a reward for failure, and the fans who "suffered" relegation from the premier league soon find their voice again...."piss the league" im seeing from Leicester fans already, its hard not to with a huge advantage over everyone else.I am so bored of parachute payment clubs.
Fee less than £500k as well. Bargain for a proven good player at this level. Would’ve loved him for our RWB spot - he’s absolutely rapid.
looks like we have signed a rwb so maybe he wasn't a player MR fanciedLess than 500k?? The fact that Doug is completely unwilling to give Robins that before the Vik sale is telling.

Is that a fact?Not that player in particular, I'm suspicious at the fact that Robins can't make signings until Vik is sold. You'd think he'd be given some cash beforehand to make up some numbers.
I don't believe that's true. You don't part with that much cash up front when signing players, and we've just sold 15k (now 16k) Season tickets, with the club getting the cash up front. I think it is just part of the negotiating process with clubs that will be the hold up. The bit that I hope is not holding us back, is the relatively recent turnover in our recruitment team. That would be bloody annoying.Not that player in particular, I'm suspicious at the fact that Robins can't make signings until Vik is sold.

Leeds, QPR, Watford, Brum (They have made a start to be fair)Looks like it.
Fair point about the turnover. I think with regards to the amount of players we need to bring in, the more days, weeks, etc. we go without news then the more tetchy people are going to get. Don't think there are any other teams in the Championship that need to bring in 10+ players.
